Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Strongly recommend!
One year ago Dr. Garver performed a total reverse shoulder replacement on my right arm. One year later and I am very happy with the outcome. No pain! I have great range of motion - not 100% but so close I don't consider it a problem (overhead reach slightly less than previously). I play pickleball and have the ok to play golf, which is next year's goal. If you need this surgery just follow ALL the doctor's instructions as well as the PT regimen.

Beyond expectations!
Wonderful bedside manner, friendly, welcoming and informative. Dr. GARVER exceeded all my expectations. The NEOS group had great PT locations and their staff were amazing and so helpful. I would recommend NEOS, specifically Dr. Garver for any shoulder surgery.

The Best Surgeon In Western MA
When Dr. Garver walked into the room, I was at ease with her. I immediately noticed her politeness, intelligence, and kindness. She mentioned that she was the second-highest surgeon in Massachusetts to have performed shoulder replacement operations, the highest being in Boston. Hearing this information made me feel like I was in good hands. A friend of mine for ten years told me to ask for Dr. Garver because she was 100 percent pleased with her performance when she had her shoulder replaced three years ago. This is Dr. Garver's tenth year.

Injured shoulder
Dr. Garver was excellent as always. Dr. Garver repaired my left rotator cuff and bicep tendon seven years ago after she took over for the retiring Dr. Sumner Karas who previously repaired my right shoulder. I admit to having qualms about a young new Dr. but Dr. Karas assured me I would be in competent hands. He was absolutely right! She did a wonderful job and I was working, golfing, etc pain free for 7 years when I fell from 6' and injured the shoulder and feared more surgery. Dr. Garver assured me that the MRI only showed o non displaced fracture and would heal on it's own. I was so relieved that I didn't need surgery and that I didn't ruin her fine work. Dr. Garver is the best and I highly recommend her for anyone who needs to have their shoulder repaired. Jeff Scharmann

For Dr. Garver from Lynn Podolski
Dr Garver took plenty of time with me so that I knew what to expect with my surgery and answered all my questions and gave me more information that I didn't know from the paperwork I had. She explained everything and showed me what she is going to do in the surgery and how she is doing it. I didn't have any questions when I left so it was a good visit.

Dr. Garver is the best!
Dr. Garver is everything you want in a specialist. She is friendly, she truly listens, and she shows genuine sympathy. She also is an incredible surgeon and someone I trust completely. I would recommend her to anyone. I just wish she worked on more body parts than the shoulder!!

Initial consultation
Dr. Garver reviewed my X-rays with me, and clearly explained my situation. She went on to offer possible solutions and the pros and cons of each. She took time to answer my questions thoroughly and I never felt rushed. I feel very confident, going forward with my treatment, that I am in very good hands, and I highly recommend Dr. Garver.
